1. Report your turnout observations - High, Low, Meh.
2. State whether your polling place is generally GOP, DEM, or Mixed
Voted Saturday. Mixed with a very heavy turnout.
South Central Pa,
Little backround: Dan Mueser district in very conservative rural area, 70% Trump last election.
I was #70 @ 8:04am I’d say a little more voted than I would have thought by that time.
Very short line, pretty much in and out.
DEM polling place. Low turnout for this poll.
South Central PA again:
A friend a few towns down said he was 23rd in line before the poll actually opened. He thought it was a big turnout compared to past elections
Radio host from York, PA this morning-—people calling in said varied from in & out voting, to waiting in lines that were wrapped around the building.
I voted in GA-06 this morning at 7:30.
As is normally the case, the early morning voters was mostly everyone but white males.
The turnout was lighter than I expected, but the place is going to be very busy once the white working class heads home.
My polling place at our local Catholic school gymnasium (in our very red suburb) is always the same
The local VFW Post has BBQ Chicken lunch/dinner fund-raiser in the parking lot on election day. They go all day and the smell of the BBQ fills the air as you arrive to vote!
This sort of tradition and stability is how/why election fraud, mostly using mass mail-in ballots, is conducted in one or two places. We will never see any funny business in our place, so most people can be convinced elections are secure.
Small town (pop. 6200) Central NH 0830:
Large crowd. 30% working men/farmers, 20% white collar men, 40% older women, 10% blue hair/N95/crazy eyes.
Voted first thing this am at opening in SouthWest Lower Michigan. smallish community. pretty evenly split by party historically. Parking lot was packed, waited in line a while to vote. Mood was somber, little to no chit chat among neighbors. Asked a poll worker if it was usually this busy first thing because I usually vote late in the day. She said, Ah, no. Mood felt different than I have experienced voting there before.
Voted early, in-person, no drop box or anything like that. Hardcore MAGA, Marjorie Taylor Greene country up here in my section of GA.
On Fri 10/28 at 10:30AM, about half of maybe 40 voting machines in use when wife and I voted. No lines but people walking in and out of the voting location. I thought pretty impressive for a weekday at mid-morning.
bump for later
Ok city suburb. Pretty busy at 7 am. Not 2016 or 2020 busy but heavy for mid term years. Governor is on ballot in tight race. Heavy R precinct.
Didn’t see nearly as much of the dem riff-raff as in 2020.
Just returned from my polling Precinct. I was no 118.
I live in Michigan in a city of less than 50 thousand, and was surprised to see an election official working the polls wearing an official homeland security administration jacket.
Pittsburgh, heavy turnout, Dem area. Glad to see no voting machines. Paper ballots, hooray, a verifiable paper trail.
Old people, lots of them.
“:The turnout was lighter than I expected, but the place is going to be very busy once the white working class heads home.”
I voted about 8:00 in Mustang Okla. Very light traffic at that time is normal. I use to take a vacation day to vote before I retired. On big election days if you go after work you can count on several hours in line. Oklahoma is very conservative in our voting. We had zero counties go for obama in his first election and very few in his second. But today all conservatives should vote like theirs will be the deciding one no matter where we live.
is Balduc going to win? :D
Very high turnout relatively speaking. Close to or on par to a presidential year in my district in PA.
I only saw my own shadow...because I was very early. 😊
However, there were a lot of smarmy, obsequious and overly familiar ‘kids’ working there in their dirty clothes, dirt under their fingernails, bad haircuts and who were all on a mission to to turn their bodies into scrimshaw...sheeesh!!
